  • Could it be? A Marc by Marc Jacobs store in London!
    Rumors mills can be a dastardly thing, but when Marc Jacobs is involved you can’t help but rub your hands together in excitement! According to Vogue, Jacobs will be opening a Marc by Marc Jacobs store this April at an unknown location -just in time for your wardrobe spring clean! I’m a huge sucker for the Marc Jacobs aesthetic, but the price tag often sends...

  • Episode 13: “The Top Model That We Know She Is”
    Of the three girls IMG eyed for the entire Model.Live series, Cato emerged as the golden child, walking an amazing 37 shows across the entire show season. Campaign season is hardly a stumbling block for Cato as an opportunity to star in D&G’s cruise campaign comes knocking!

  • Holiday Season Giveaway: $50 TJ Maxx Gift Certificate
    Amid all the talks of off-price retailing, the lovely folks at TJ Maxx took some time out to entertain us with a game by the name of “Splurge or Steal” in which we had to guess which outfits were the most expensive (splurge) or budget friendly (steal). To put your prudent eye to work, we’re having our very own “Splurge or Steal” contest with the...

  • Episode 12: Big Fish, Little Pond
    Back from suspension (don’t quote me) after exhibiting some rather slipshod behaviour in London, Austria’s mother agent, Socrates McKinney, delivers a vindicating performance as he narrates much of the episode. Austria’s listless poise at much of her European castings have been a thing of debate and by discussing the dynamics of the Dominican family, McKinney provides...

  • TJ Maxx: The World of Off-Price Retailing…
    Last week Monday, TJ Maxx put up thirteen reputable bloggers for a daylong event at their Farmingdale, MA (near Boston) offices to demystify the world of off-price retail. No magazine editors—just bloggers and it felt empowering for our medium.

  • Model.Live Episode 11: Let’s Talk Money
    I’m far from an expert when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of the modelling industry. However, the little I did know prior to Model.Live has been supplanted by a wealth of perspective. And in that, I’ll say this: models have it tough.

  • Model.Live Episode 10: Patience is a Virtue
    So Model.Live decided to do a two-part feature on Paris Fashion Week, but in actuality this episode served as a wrap-up for the entire show season. In news relating to Paris, Madeline lands a show and much to our delight, opened and closed the proceedings!

  • Model.Live Episode 9: The Breaking Point
    As last week’s episode of Model.Live wrapped up, Cato had walked a slew of shows in Milan while Madeline and Austria struggled to even catch a glimpse of a runway. It was all very disheartening for them, while for Cato it marked the pinnacle of her career thus far as a model. With no shows booked, Madeline and Austria find Milan’s most picturesque cobbled streets...

  • Justice At Last: Racy Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein Ad Spotted in New York
    A couple months back, a great deal of fuss was made over Eva Mendes’ racy TV ad for Calvin Klein’s Secret Obsession fragrance. The ad went on to be banned (to our disbelief), but Calvin Klein has struck back with a full-fledged billboard that parades their beloved Eva in next nothing, as they’ve wanted for so long!
